HEAD TO BRANSON FOR YEAR ROUND FUN!
EVERYBODY, STAMPEDE! Celebrating three decades of entertaining and memory making, Dolly Parton’s Stampede in Branson is opening with an exciting new act to add even more to the high-spirited adventure in this unforgettable dinner show. A combination of equestrian excellence, lively music and storytelling, a bit of comedic horseplay, and a delicious four-course feast come together to make up “The World’s Most Visited Dinner Show Attraction.” The 2024 season multiplies in fun and adventure with the addition of a thrilling lumberjack competition set high in the “treetops” above the arena. “Rumble in the Treetops” joins the dinner show excitement by showcasing the strength and agility of skilled lumberjack teams as they climb, chop, saw and log roll their way through an exhilarating four-event relay.
GO-KARTS: HIGH-SPEED FUN Whether you’re a kid or just young at heart, Branson offers go-kart racing for every age. Enjoy everything from wood tracks to state-of-the-art high speed karts and put that pedal to the metal. The Track Family Fun Parks offers several different go-kart racing tracks located around 76 Country Blvd., in Branson’s Entertainment District. High-rise tracks like the wooden-beamed Wild Woody and The Lumberjack or the steel and concrete Heavy Metal High Rise give you huge spirals of multi-tiered fun, while traditional flat tracks like the Road Course Track and the Sprint Track provide tight, banked curves and opportunities for speed. Go have fun!
